I went to Mercy today (yes, on Sunday) for my first ever MRI. I thought I was going to be able to relax and snooze, but since the MRI was of my liver, I had to be an active participant. And I had to have an IV. It took about an hour, and was definitely as loud as I had been told, but I had on earphones so the tech could communicate with me when I needed to hold my breath, so that cut down on the noise a little bit. I didn't feel too claustrophobic because I was sent into the machine, and it didn't come down to meet my face. The noises were really weird...they almost had a beat to them, so I entertained myself figuring out what songs the beats resembled.
I'm so glad they offer the service on the weekend, and grateful I didn't have to miss school. The purpose of the MRI was to get a baseline, and I get to go through it again in 6 months. I should start glowing in the dark really soon...
